Wolverhampton Wanderers: Chief Executive Jez Moxey writes to club's season ticket holders to thank them for their support

Wolverhampton Wanderers Chief Executive, Jez Moxey, has written to season ticket holders thanking them for their loyal support and stating the club’s bitter disappointment that ‘some of the decisions taken have not worked out the way we all wanted.’

In the letter, Moxey reiterates the club’s commitment to investing in the team, with Wolves hopeful of bringing in at least one new face when the Loan window re-opens.

We are in the middle of some very tough times – there is no hiding from that fact. We all feel it.

However, whether at Molineux or at away matches, you have supported the team despite suffering so many disappointments. Your patience and loyalty was tested when we were relegated last season and we have given you little to shout about this season either.

Performances have been nowhere near good enough, yet your support for the team has been fantastic. For all of this, we thank you.

Every decision we take at Molineux is made with the very best interests of Wolves at heart. We know it may not always appear that way but be assured that is the case. Let’s face it we all want to prosper in the Premier League, not to be fighting for survival in the Championship.

We are, therefore, extremely disappointed and sorry that some of the decisions taken have not worked out in the way we all wanted. We had hoped the summer appointment of Ståle Solbakken would signal a new, successful footballing era for

Wolves. However, it became apparent that results and performances were not improving and that is why Ståle was replaced with Dean Saunders. The new Manager has lifted morale and we hope, and believe, he will lead us to a brighter future.

As the Chairman said at a media briefing in January, we are all rightly open to criticism when things go wrong. As the current custodian of Wolves, he takes his responsibilities very seriously and he and I both take constructive criticism on the chin. That said we retain an unwavering commitment to create a successful football team.

All the ambitions Steve had for helping Wolves progress on and off the pitch when he arrived back in 2007 remain the same. In fact, given what has happened, I know he feels even more determined to get things right.

It is obviously not lost on us that we are now in the middle of a relegation battle and during the madness of the January transfer window we fended off large bids for some of our best players. We also made offers to buy new players but, despite the current pressures, the Manager was not prepared to sign them at any price.

Nevertheless, he will look to improve the squad between now and the end of the season, if he can, by way of the loan market. The Club will support him in this and in what we expect to be a busy summer transfer window.

We know from experience that Wolves fans are resilient and loyal supporters. We hope these tough times will not sway you from continuing your support as a season ticket holder of this great Club next season.

For the record, unlike last season, we will not be re-opening the Early Bird campaign after the closing date. An Early Bird season ticket remains the most cost effective way to support the team next season. We sincerely hope you will want to stick with us at a time when, to be frank, the Manager, the team and the Club really need it.
